Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Early outcomes, associated factors and predictive values of clinical outcomes of tandospirone in generalized anxiety disorder: a post-hoc analysis of a randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trial.
To examine the early outcomes, associated factors and predictive values of clinical outcomes of different tandospirone doses in patients with a generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). ⋯ The early outcomes of high-dose tandospirone in the treatment of GAD are better than those of the low-dose group. Patients with younger age at onset, milder anxiety symptoms and better physiological functions administered high-dose tandospirone showed rapid onset, great early outcomes, high recovery rate and good prognosis. Drug onset time had a good predictive effect on treatment outcome.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Long-term safety and efficacy, including anhedonia, of vortioxetine for major depressive disorder: findings from two open-label studies.
Evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of vortioxetine in the management of major depressive disorder (MDD) in two open-label one-year studies, including a post-hoc analysis of its effects on symptoms related to anhedonia. ⋯ Data from both studies confirm the safety and efficacy of flexibly dosed vortioxetine over 52 weeks of treatment and demonstrate that MADRS anhedonia factor scores continue to improve with long-term maintenance treatment.
